So I'm doing GOTV work today in rural Nevada. In Wellington, early voting was between 10 and 1 today at the Topaz Branch Fire Station. It seems that someone was calling into the rurals here, and apparently they told this gentlemen that early voting was 4-8 at the commun...

	So will the Republicans voting for Hillary in Texas balance out 
	</title>
	<description>
	the Republicans voting against her (i.e. for Barack)? Personally, I know too many Republicans that switched registration to vote against Clinton in my home state, so I'm wondering about this whole Limbaugh / Texas / Clinton thing. Who gains a net benefit out of this?...

	In regards to the Hillary the hardened campaigner meme:

	<description>
	(The idea that somehow, she is the only candidate strong enough to handle the Republican slime in a general election.)<br />
<br />
In 2000, Al Gore took New York by 25%. Hillary took her Senate seat, previously held by a Democrat, by 12%. That means that at least 6.5% of the people who voted for Al Gore, in ...

	Why moderates and centrists should not control or influence the party rhetoric
	</title>
	<description>
	Conservatives vote for causes. And their slogans are simple and straight to the point. i.e. <br />
<br />
- [i]Stop abortion! Cut taxes! Vote for Jesus! Vote for Capitalism! Vote for Strong Defense![/i]<br />
<br />
There is a simplicity and power to the absolutes. And the Republicans have mastered this approach. Even ...

	Bill Richardson House party / Persepective of a Conservative
	</title>
	<description>
	He came by Reno for a house party last night. I thought he was reasonably impressive. He could use a little finishing, some of his jokes could be easily taken out of context if heard in TV clip form. On the whole however, he was very personable and direct.<br />
<br />
Most interesting, the house party was fo...

	Where can I find a comprehensive list of Bush scandals
	</title>
	<description>
	A friend of mine asked me if I had one, and I had to tell him no. I'm looking for an up-to-date list of all the scandals of this administration, and I was hoping to avoid having to assemble one from scratch. Do we have something like that archived here?<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

	To explain and justify attacking Hillary (or other centrists)
	</title>
	<description>
	Hillary supporters are confounded by the vitriol of the attacks levied against her. They believe that these attacks may sabotage her in the general election. They may be right. <br />
<br />
But first let me say that most, dare I say nearly all, of us will vote for her in the general should she win in the pri...

	You can look through this yourself if you want, but according to Department of Defense (which means it does not account for secret installations) we operate 860 military bases in foreign countries as of 2004, and 3842 within our own borders, 4702 total. (The summaries are on pg 12 of the 2004 report...
